Dreams sprout along southwest rail route
Cities along the Southwest Transitway route are pinpointing the line's stations -- and contemplating development bonanzas. Light-rail stations are much more than platforms. To cities, they're anchors within the community. They're triggers for economic development. Done right, they can even help deliver federal funds. So, while construction of the Southwest Transitway light-rail line is, by optimistic estimates, at least four years away, cities along its route -- St. Louis Park, Hopkins, Minnetonka and Eden Prairie -- are already planning its stations.
